Drop Down The Get Started Menu

Correct at time of writing – 14th May 2014]

This menu has 5 items on it. You can access Module 1 but for the rest you have to upgrade and become an SFM member. Module 1 has quite a lot in it and so do all the subsequent modules so I will cover each module with one or more posts.

Here’s the menu items in module 1:

Welcome to the SFM

There are 2 videos and an overview on this page.

The main messages from the first 9 minute video are “learn while you earn”, “you don’t need to make the same mistakes everyone else does”, “keep it simple”, “stay focused”, “get your mind in the right place” and “we have put together a system that will get results if you follow it”.READ MORE

An Unlikely Prompt

I wanted to write this article because of 2 internet related things that I spotted recently. The first is that the latest Google Maps has no obvious “Print” button, it is there but buried, and the second was this www.resetthenet.org which is about what governments are trying to do with the internet. Mostly the US NSA in this case.

It’s not the first time I have mentioned this subject and the reason I do again is because what’s happening at the moment is still really quite disturbing. Big Brother is making his way to town not with a bang but with an insidious creep most of the time. The internet is a two edged sword and those that would abuse it are always a concern that we all need to keep in check. One day we may wake up and find that some of those nightmare films of the future are now the present. As it is some of the things that were science fiction only 20 or 30 years ago are real everyday things now so we can’t just ignore things.READ MORE

Six Figure Mentors – Lead Capture Pages 15

If you are going to learn about Digital/Internet Marketing and/or earn money from promoting a training program then it’s a good idea to take a look and see what you are going to get.

This is the 15th Lead Capture Page* that I want to show you … “Living The Laptop Lifestyle V2 Video”.

Quite similar in style to Lead Capture Page 13 (Join The New Rich). The headline may appeal to people trapped in the 9-5 wage slave type of life style and want to get out of it. Stuart Ross travels a lot because he has the money and doesn’t have to be in a particular location to run his business which this video shows. He tells his story and how he started to become successful online. He mentions that he started earning more part time than he could earn full time in a normal job. A lot of people are going to start internet marketing part time so this a very relevant point.READ MORE

Six Figure Mentors – Lead Capture Pages 14

If you are going to learn about Digital/Internet Marketing and/or earn money from promoting a training program then it’s a good idea to take a look and see what you are going to get.

This is the 14th Lead Capture Page* that I want to show you … “List Building For Profit”.

One of the underlying principles of internet marketing is list building and that’s the focal point for this page. The free list building report and 7 day video bootcamp are featured quite strongly in the right hand column. The colour scheme is unlike the vast majority of lead capture pages that you normally see which really makes this page stick out and is why it’s one of the higher converting lead capture pages.READ MORE

Six Figure Mentors – Lead Capture Pages 13

If you are going to learn about Digital/Internet Marketing and/or earn money from promoting a training program then it’s a good idea to take a look and see what you are going to get.

This is the 13th Lead Capture Page* that I want to show you … “Join The New Rich”.

This is a variation on the previous Lead Capture Page, no. 12. It’s again simple and clean, the HD video is very clean looking and well filmed but smaller than the previous version. The displayed message is still money and life style which is the bottom line for many people. The video follows this up, adds that it’s not a get rich scheme and you will have to do some work. The biggest difference is the layout and colour scheme.READ MORE

Six Figure Mentors – Lead Capture Pages 12

If you are going to learn about Digital/Internet Marketing and/or earn money from promoting a training program then it’s a good idea to take a look and see what you are going to get.

This is the 12th Lead Capture Page* that I want to show you … “Join The New Rich V2”.

This is my favourite at the moment. It’s really simple and clean, the HD video is very clean looking and well filmed. The displayed message is money and life style which is the bottom line for many people. The video follows this up, adds that it’s not a get rich scheme and you will have to do some work. The video is aimed at pre-qualifying interest. Most quick rich opportunity seekers don’t like to invest much in their online businesses in terms of time or money and probably won’t be interested in the Six Figure Mentors / Digital Experts Academy, they might have a look but that’s as far as it usually goes. By putting unlikely candidates off, those that do sign up are more likely to have a serious interest in finding out more and joining up if they like what they see.READ MORE

Six Figure Mentors – Lead Capture Pages 10

If you are going to learn about Digital/Internet Marketing and/or earn money from promoting a training program then it’s a good idea to take a look and see what you are going to get.

This is the 10th Lead Capture Page* that I want to show you … “Incredible Free Gift”. By now you should be getting the idea that there is lots of high quality marketing collateral available with the SFM to suit the different approaches that different people prefer. It all helps to make being part of the SFM that much easier. We are half way through now but before I finish this series there might even be a few more.READ MORE

The Benefit Of Doubt

By nature I tend to give benefit of doubt. This annoys my wife who just thinks I’m always defending other people. I tend to say things like “well, maybe there was a good reason”, “Perhaps we should hear both sides of the story” or “everyone makes mistakes”. Sometimes she’s right and perhaps I see the best when it’s not always there but I prefer giving the benefit of doubt than damn everyone who makes a mistake.

Mind you, I can still burn someones ear off if I think they are taking the mickey.READ MORE

Six Figure Mentors – Lead Capture Pages 9

If you are going to learn about Digital/Internet Marketing and/or earn money from promoting a training program then it’s a good idea to take a look and see what you are going to get.

This is the 9th Lead Capture Page* that I want to show you … “High Ticket Commissions VSL”.

High Ticket commissions are far better than low ticket. 10 x $100 gives you $1,000 and 10 x $1,000 gives you $10,000, it’s as simple as that and if it requires not much more effort to make $1,000 per sale then that’s clearly the better and more scalable way to go. At the time of writing this is one of the newer Lead Capture Pages, it has a nice quality about it and is very current.READ MORE

Six Figure Mentors – Lead Capture Pages 8

If you are going to learn about Digital/Internet Marketing and/or earn money from promoting a training program then it’s a good idea to take a look and see what you are going to get.

This is the 8th Lead Capture Page* that I want to show you … “Free Videos”.

This is probably a more male oriented page. I know that sounds like a generalization and I know quite a few women that like fast cars, motorbikes etc. but I think the stereotype holds roughly true.READ MORE

I Knew It Was Coming

On Thursday 20th February 2014 my PC crashed and I could not recover it this time without major surgery.

I knew it was coming. My PC had slowed down markedly all of a sudden and I could hear the disc chattering more than usual. Sounded like bad sectors to me (areas on the disc probably worn out). And which bits of the disc get used the most? Yep, the important bits where the operating system lives.

I thought, I’m going to have fix that pretty soon, I’ll back up again at the weekend and sort it out then. I procrastinated a bit because although I have everything to do a total rebuild it takes a few days.READ MORE

I’m going to use the word “basically” … making money in ANY business is about marketing in some form or another. Some people just get good at marketing, some get lucky and some don’t get it at all. It doesn’t matter whether you go to a local business networking meeting, advertise in the local rag use word of mouth or advertise on the national networks. It boils down to telling people you and your stuff exist and that it’s worth having. The more people you tell and that believe or know your product is good the more of your product you are likely to sell.READ MORE

Six Figure Mentors – Lead Capture Pages 7

If you are going to learn about Digital/Internet Marketing and/or earn money from promoting a training program then it’s a good idea to take a look and see what you are going to get.

This is the 7th Lead Capture Page* that I want to show you … “Free Training”.

This is an altogether different approach . If you look carefully you can see a video behind the email capture panel. You can scroll the background up and down behind the panel; to be able to see the video the lead capture page visitor must input their email address. This is re-enforced by the message offering high value training.READ MORE

Drop Down The Home Menu Item

[Correct at time of writing – 5th February 2014]

This is the second in a series of posts about the Six Figure Mentors (SFM) back office and what you would experience if you became a member.

After having a look around the Dashboard the next logical area to look at is the drop down menu Item “Home”. As you can see there are 4 items on it at the moment. The first item just takes you back to the Dashboard which we have already covered so let’s look at the next 3.

About The SFM

This is a very brief overview of the SFM by way of a little history and in effect, a short mission statement.READ MORE

Six Figure Mentors – Lead Capture Pages 6

If you are going to learn about Digital/Internet Marketing and/or earn money from promoting a training program then it’s a good idea to take a look and see what you are going to get.

This is the 6th Lead Capture Page* that I want to show you … “Fire Your Boss & Hire Yourself – Stuart Ross”.

This is short presentation this time by Stuart Ross who gives a brief overview of his story and a taste of how he got to where he is today. Stuart Ross gets straight to the point and his style is very much more identifiable to people in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and possibly Europe & Scandinavia. The headline is very similar to Jay Kubasseks headline on his version of this page. This and the previous lead capture page are two perspectives on the same idea.READ MORE

Transparency / Gradient / Opaque / Opacity

You can overlay one image onto another so that the foreground image does not completely obscure the background. Here are a couple of ways this can be done.

One way is to discard the background so an image like a logo or a person can be overlaid onto whatever background or colour is required. PowerPoint slides and web pages are typical examples of where you might want to do this. In this example the logo has no background and overlays the grey lines without obscuring them. This is not really transparency but amounts to a similar effect.READ MORE

Six Figure Mentors – Lead Capture Pages 5

If you are going to learn about Digital/Internet Marketing and/or earn money from promoting a training program then it’s a good idea to take a look and see what you are going to get.

This is the 5th Lead Capture Page* that I want to show you … “Fire Your Boss & Hire Yourself – Jay Kubassek”.

This is short presentation by Jay Kubassek. Stuart Ross and Jay Kubassek have very different presentation styles. Jay might appeal more broadly to the US market as he has a North American accent. He is also very much in to mind-set and lifestyle whilst Stuart has a bias towards the system side of things and will talk more about the nuts and bolts. The headline is very descriptive towards an aspiration many people will identify with.READ MORE

Six Figure Mentors – Lead Capture Pages 4

If you are going to learn about Digital/Internet Marketing and/or earn money from promoting a training program then it’s a good idea to take a look and see what you are going to get.

This is the 4th Lead Capture Page* that I want to show you … “Entrepreneurs Wanted”.

This Lead Capture Page is very similar to the previous one “Entrepreneurs Unleashed” and again appeals to people who want to start a business online in their spare time and that aspire to becoming successful at it on their own terms. The big difference is the image of Stuart Ross and Jay Kubassek with their cars of choice. This has more of an “I would like that too and could achieve it” appeal.READ MORE

Six Figure Mentors – Lead Capture Pages 3

If you are going to learn about Digital/Internet Marketing and/or earn money from promoting a training program then it’s a good idea to take a look and see what you are going to get.

This is the 3rd Lead Capture Page* that I want to show you … “Entrepreneurs Unleashed”.

This LCP appeals to people who want to start a business online in their spare time and that aspire to becoming successful at it on their own terms. I think most people realize that the internet is a fast growing market thus the use of the words “Digital Goldrush”. I like the simplicity of this Lead Capture Page; it puts over it’s message very succinctly and the image clearly portrays a persons ambition just waiting to be released. Whilst having lots of positivity I don’t think it misleads or makes claim to anything unrealizable. The overall aim is to entice people to find out more.READ MORE
